Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com

Click here for the criminal complaint.On January 29, police responded to a robbery at Lowry and Newton Avenue North in Minneapolis, where a victim named "A.J." said she'd been parked with two friends when a couple males approached and robbed her of a phone and wallet...The victim knew one of the alleged assailants as "Vajiee Suggs," which I assume is a Facebook name. "Suggs" was later identified through Facebook and determined to be Dvajie Dejonne Whitfield. The other assailant was identified, also through Facebook, as James Henry Horshaw. (Click here for a mugshot from another incident) The criminal complaint actually makes it sound like the victim did her own Facebook research and brought the information to police. No weapon was seen during the robbery, but Whitfield reportedly yelled "up the gun, bro" several times when A.J. struggled to keep her possessions. James Henry Horshaw (who has no relationship, at all, to the character "Horshack" from the classic television show "Welcome Back, Kotter," but sometimes I just get desperate for a stock photo) reportedly lives at 3830 Aldrich Ave. N., a homestead owned by relatives with the same surname. This is not Horshaw's first appearance here on Johnny Northside, he was previously written up for a weapons arrest in 2012. Now he's back in jail.What can I say but...Welcome back.(Singing the Welcome Back, Kotter song)Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back....

James Horshaw is the same dude from the mental mid song.. The dude from the 3rd verse who bragged about the Tye crack murder. You uploaded screenshots from him saying on facebook that he got the call and the kill was confirmed.. He's taliban and he's a bitch. He'll probably get killed soon because he's a fake tough guy. He's also a snitch who told on CQ for shooting at him and hitting his dad.. Don't you know anything?
